Considering I'm really not a fan of rooibos tea, I've been genuinely shocked by how much I love honeybush tea! Honeybush Vanilla in particular is so smooth, and tastes like a dessert without ever having to add sweeteners! It's perfect for when I'm craving something sweet, and I think I'm definitely going to need to buy a bigger bag of both this and Honeybush Banana Nut!
This is warm and comforting. It makes a very nice late night cup of tea and is very nice blended.
I add this when brewing not only hot tea but to my iced tea as well for a bit a vanilla flavor!
This and the Rooibos Vanilla are growing to be my favorites from Adagio (and I am a herbal fruit tea girl) these are so warm, so comforting but not too strong like some chai and black teas can be. It gives just the right amount of depth to sip slowely.
So good, love the flavour! I mix it with the Jasmin Dragon Pearls.
Fantastic one of my all time favorites, will not disappoint.
Virtually identical to Teavana’s Honeybush Vanilla (Vanilla Creme). It has that sweetness that pairs well with dessert teas but is also good alone.
Certainly doesn t have the terrible smoked BBQ flavor I discern from Rooibos which is great. A rather interesting somewhat sweet, and a little off from vanilla to my tongue, but not bad flavor. Honestly tough to describe, but worth a sample if you get the chance.
Very sweet. I add lavender to it to give it extra depth.
Delicious combination of honey flavor from the honeybush tea with a mellow vanilla. As others have said, the vanilla isn’t overly strong, but this is a great warm and mellow tea without the caffeine. It makes a wonderful nighttime brew!
Typical honeybush tea with a hint of vanilla flavor. The vanilla scent when open the bag is much stronger than the scent of the brewed tea in the cup. It tasts pleasant, but not outstanding.
I’ve been looking for a good honeybush vanilla for over a year, and I’ve finally found it! Especially good with cream/milk and sugar
The vanilla is not too strong but the tea has a nice honey flavor
I really like this tea mixed with other teas. It has a vanilla honey flavor.
A tasty, soothing tea. I have this on auto-order as a gift for my mom. I find the flavour comes through best if you load up your filter and leave it steep for a long time.
Our absolute favorite for the night. Its such a great taste and calming for me. Although I need for my big mug at least two tsps to be happy with the flavor. My daugher is perfectly fine with one, as recommended.
I very much enjoyed this tea. It has a nice smooth flavor. It is a great tea to relax with.
Not very strong for vanilla. Rather bland, actually.
And just when you thought honeybush could not get any better...well, it does! The hint of vanilla does not overwhelm but accentuates the beauty of the honeybush. Love this on afternoons when I want some extra decadence :)
Quickly becoming one of my favorite vanillas, and my favorite vanilla for blending.
Dang this tea is so good and it adds such a depth to my blend that I make
A very nice tasting tea! It is perfect for after dinner/ before bed since there’s no caffeine and it has just a mild pleasant flavor...a bit woody and earthy not not overtly so.
As an original Teavanna customer this vanilla tea is very comparable to theirs. It will be a regular for me!
Lovely flavor. Great to keep around for days I don't want a lot of caffeine.
Very mild, sweet flavor, a good tea for days when you don't want something too strong. Quite delicious!
This tea tastes like absolute heaven for me. There's a real kind of balance with the natural honey flavor and the vanilla that it feels like pure comfort. Because it's naturally sweet, I don't have to put in a lot of sweetener so it's also managed to help me add less to other teas.
This honeybush base with the creamy vanilla side note is amazing. I love that it is a full bodied tea without caffeine. I can brew it twice for a smooth gentle tea twice, didn't really lose flavor at all. Will definitely get this one again!
I really enjoy the subtle flavors and the smell is soothing.
I bought this because I was a fan of Teavana's Honeybush Vanilla. It's not that similar, but I like this. The honeybush has a stronger flavor and scent. I used to brew the Teavana version with milk, but I leave it out for the Adagio version because it doesn't need it.
I enjoy this tea. I make mine strong to really appreciate the flavor. Delightful hot treat.
Love this in the mornings!! The flavor is fantastic.
This is a great calming tea. It s sweet enough to not need sugar, but not too overly sweet that you feel like it s a dessert. The vanilla is light and just a perfect touch. It was a perfect introduction to honeybush teas. The only down side is that you will have sediment at the bottom of your glass.
I have not tried this alone but it is so good mixed with a fruity tea and a good base such as pu'erh dante or lapsang souchang.
A solid, inoffensive staple for drinking throughout the workday. It doesn't have a particularly strong definition to it. Sweet and mild.
This honeybush tea smells so amazing. I ve smelled it in other blends, but didn t realize which part the aroma was coming from. It really does smell like honey, and it tastes smooth and delicious, and the vanilla is subtle because it goes so well with it. Then again I have a cold so someone else might be able to smell the vanilla in it - but it must not be strong or overpowering, which is a plus!
The vanilla is amazing in this tea. Not too overpowering. One of my favorites
This tea is just 'ok'. I expected a stronger vanilla, a slightly sweeter tea. It's just lacking that. This tea tastes flat to me. Needs maybe a fruit blended.
My family loves this tea. We brew it in equal parts with caramel rooibos.
A nice sweet smooth tea that i enjoyed as a sample since i had never had honeybush before.
So delicious and the vanilla is rich, almost bourbon like. This is a keeper.
This was perfectly balanced with vanilla. Not too earthy.
i know why they call it honeybush. i love it when the name is exactly describes the taste. honeysuckle meets vanilla. nice combo. both flavors are light but the honey tends to linger longer. i only add a bit of sugar and frothy milk (1 or 2 oz).
This is my favorite tea, and I take it with me to work, especially now that's it's finally gotten cold in California.
My go-to for late nights when I don't want caffeine, but want the soothing relaxation of a cup of something warm and toasty! Tastes yummy with or without milk/cream, just add a touch of sugar to bring out the natural sweetness!
ENJOYED FLAVOR VERY MUCH. WOULD ORDER AGAIN. THANKS. HUSBAND REALLY LIKES.
This tea was in no way offensive, but was just neutral, very bland. I was hoping for more vanilla flavor for more a sweet desert flavor.
Not my favorite by itself. I mixed it with lemon balm this morning and it was PERFECT. No favorite combination.
It's ok I prefer the flavor of the Vanilla Roobios.
I'm a big fan of any kind of tea but this is definitely up there for me. I have friends who will literally just come over for a cup of this now which is slightly insulting but truth be told I get it. It's warm and well rounded with a slight sweetness and makes you feel like you're getting hugged from the inside out. I enjoy adding just a touch of sugar or honey to it but it really doesn't need it. If you're looking for something on the lighter end of the caffeine spectrum that will soothe your cold bones, this is a winner.
As someone who was never into Tea or very good at describing flavor profiles, I can tell you two things. It's either good or it's not and even that is subjective. This is not only good but it's great flavorful tea. While mild in flavor, I can very much pick out each major flavor profile. This is going to be my go to tea and it's going to be the tea I use to introduce teas to my friends.
